@PeterStefanovi2 Starmer knows he has lost many of the voters who got him into power ie pensioners and most vulnerable people in the UK hence the reason he is looking for the younger generations to make up for that loss and keep him in power. So disappointed in this labour gvt. Red tories😪

He played all you MAGA SUCKERS AND LOSERS!

We can reveal that the director of Luxe Lifestyle – a firm that bagged a £25.7m PPE contract during Covid, has been arrested.

This is what happened.

Tax cut for Musk, Bezos and other tech billionaires on the table, Starmer confirms.

NO.

People suffering cuts in benefits; NHS queues; crumbling infrastructure whilst the richest rewarded.

Mustn't capitulate to Trump's bullying.

250,000 people – including 50,000 children – will be plunged into poverty as a result of the Gov’ts proposed benefit cuts - on its own analysis

I’m joining @TrussellUK in calling on the government to rethink its cruel & completely irresponsible plan.

This is how you can help

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

I’m joining @TrussellUK in calling on the government to rethink its plan to slash payments and rip support from disabled people who most need our collective protection

If you oppose the government’s cruel & shameful proposals please RT this widely

Rachel Reeves: I will not 'tax and spend'.

That means cuts in govt depts.

So far two child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, freeze on tax thresholds; proposed benefit cuts

Must ditch the fiscal rules. Tax the rich

Can't grow economy without that.

Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages.

Crucial drugs not available.

Bureaucracy a barrier to exports too.

Domestic production of medicines not increased.

Labour 2019 manifesto proposed state led production of generic drugs.

Rejoin the EU.

Living standards for all UK families set to fall by 2030, those on the lowest incomes declining twice as fast as middle and high earners.

Poor clobbered.

Govts appease corporations and the rich.

End neoliberal policies. Redistribute. Tax the rich.

UK Civil Service told to slash running costs by 15%, £2bn.

What would that be - cuts in airport safety, minimum wage inspections, health and safety, child welfare, flood defences, river cleanliness, benefit assessment.

No attention to human cost.

@Dr_Bekka_UK @RachelReevesMP If @RachelReevesMP does not want to be called a "Red Tory", she should stop behaving like one. It is bad enough that you made promises you did not keep, to get into power, but now to behave like the party removed, makes that even worse.

[Eddie Stainer @BenjscottScott]

@Dr_Bekka_UK @RachelReevesMP They asked for this. Labour, specifically Rachel Reeves stated that there will be no return to austerity. Well, what’s this? This is not democracy, it’s plutocracy. The rich wins no matter who wins or loses in the ballot box.

“@jolyonmaugham said GB News had been ‘getting away with platforming and hosting hatemongers like Oliver for far too long,’ noting that the channel is ‘funded by advertisers who should know better, including the likes of Sky.’”

BREAKING: Trump now reportedly wants Ukrainian President Zelensky to give up part of Ukraine’s land to Russia, hold elections, and possibly resign in order to receive U.S. aid, per NBC.

How about holding Putin to the same standard? How about making Putin give up part of Russia, hold elections without jailing, killing, or poisoning his opponents, and asking him to resign?

Politicians for Sale.

UK political parties accepted £100m in donations in 2024.

Donations are bribes made to exercise influence, ensure corporations/rich rule.

Normal people can't compete.

Can't cleanse politics without banning donations.

"This is a truly shocking conflict of interest."

"Is Peter Mandelson visiting Palantir as a representative of the Government - or as an emissary of his ugly lobbying group looking after his own financial interests?"

European leader after European leader TONIGHT stating publicly that they stand with President @ZelenskyyUa and Ukraine against Russia

It seems Emperor Trump and his sidekick are the ones out of step....

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵
